TL;DR: In this paper, a two-phase or three-phase boundary system formed in the pores of a TiO 2 membrane in a photocatalytic reactor is described, where gaseous (liquid) oxidant, liquid (gaseous) contaminant, and solid semiconductor photocatalyst meet and engage in an efficient oxidation reaction.

TL;DR: Ozone has been used to sterilize instruments and medical wastes, oxidize organics found in wastewater, clean laundry, break down contaminants in soil into a form more readily digested by microbes, and destroy toxins present in food products.

TL;DR: In this article, a method for treating an exhaust gas stream both during cold start and during continuous operating conditions of an internal combustion engine by passing the stream through an oxidizing catalyst bed having one or more oxidizing catalysts at a light off temperature, a reducing catalyst bed had one or multiple reducing catalysts and providing hydrogen into the reducing catalyst to condition the reducing catalytic acid.

TL;DR: In this paper, a single cell electrochemical reactor that utilizes a proton exchange membrane (PEM) as a solid electrolyte was investigated for the treatment of waters with low or negligible electrolyte content.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose novel inorganic-organic composite membranes especially useful as ionically conducting in electrochemical devices, which consist of a polymeric matrix, which may or may not be an ionic conductor in its unfilled form, filled with an inorganic material having a high affinity for water, capable of exchanging cations such as protons, and preferably with a high cation mobility, either on its surface or through its bulk.
